Santorum explaining earnestly that elderly Danish people have to wear arm bands that state "do not euthanize me." Pretty close to the misinformation spread on the board here about Obamacare.

;

He doesn't know the difference between Danish and Dutch. - Entirely false. nm

If you are going to state what he said you might want to - actually state what he said

Here is a quote of what he said (no he did not call Dutch people Danish people -

"In the Netherlands, people wear different bracelets if they are elderly. And the bracelet is: ‘Do not euthanize me.’ Because they have voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands but half of the people who are euthanized — ten percent of all deaths in the Netherlands — half of those people are enthanized involuntarily at hospitals because they are older and sick. And so elderly people in the Netherlands don’t go to the hospital. They go to another country, because they are afraid, because of budget purposes, they will not come out of that hospital if they go in there with sickness.”

Which he is still a goof and that is wrong, but at least put what he actually said.

I apologize - you are right about Danish

Listening to Rush today. He announced his new product line of Rush Babe apparel and bump stickers. He urged the gals to order a t-shirt with Rush Babe logo to annoy liberals. Nice to know connies care enough about our opinion to spend their hard-earned money (or their hubby's) on a shirt to annoy us. I personally would not be annoyed but rather pity the wearer. Anyone over 20 with an opinion t shirt is sad enough, but one pledging allegiance to an obese misogynist is patheti ...

I have Vonage with the neat little feature where your voicemail is transcribed for you and emailed to you. Like VR for your voicemail.

When you get something good, everybody wants a piece of it. My hubbie got a very good job. He drives an eighteen wheeler and has had some crappy jobs. He waited to get on with this company for months. He is making great money. Enough so that I could quit transcription and go back to college. (Thank you Lord) He makes the mistake of telling people how well paying it is and everybody wants a job. I said it's real simple if they have an opening ...
